Ever wondered how to “sell” your client an under-the-hood refactor which they can’t immediately experience, but which makes your life so much easier? Take notes from the copy introducing High Sierra. Apple starts with APFS and doesn’t reall

How do we refer to the type of architecture without server-side component proper[0][1][2] though? Makes it surprisingly hard to find material and research on those topics. Recently I was looking for one insightful talk (with a PoC) where we

It’s not every day that one hears about garlic-induced vasodilation! Did you arrive at 70–120 cloves as your minimum effective dose? Any side effects, digestion-wise for example, from consuming that many at once?

Perhaps not all tech companies care to push past human error in each postmortem (or even have a proper formal process at all), but some are known to do just that. Etsy and Google are among the well-documented cases. > This idea of diggin

If you want to map whole planet’s surface onto a plane then sure, there’re tons of options (Dymaxion projection is my favorite). I can’t understand why areas and distances would be distorted if user manipulates a 3D globe though; yet it see

Does anyone know why isn’t it possible to get the same perspective (preserving scale, distances, areas) in Google Earth Web? For example, you wouldn’t be able to get the shapes of continents along with the size of the whole globe in Google

I find that the safest way to migrate DB schema is gradually, spreading out intermediate steps across a few deploys. Migrate the schema creating the (initially unused) fields in advance. Step by step change your logic where it talks to the

On one hand, as Amazon opens up the pieces that comprise its architecture, they begin to compete for external customers. On the other hand, Amazon itself keeps using its own solutions. By the way, it’s not just that Amazon prevents its divi
